Use a gif image instead of text in boxes

[rocket_rob]

Can anyone point me to info on how to use a gif image in place of text in various boxes? For example, can I design my own navigation buttons to use under the "category" box that will replace the standard text? Can I also add a separate hover button there too? Thanks for any help.

in includes/boxes/categories.php look for where it shows:

$tree[$counter]['name']

replace this with

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'navigation/' . $tree[$counter]['name'] . '.gif')

and make sure you create a directory in images/ called "navigation" and in that place gif images named the same as your category names.

Actually a safer way would be to use

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'navigation/' . $counter . '.gif')

..and just name your images after the category numbers. This would avoid problems with spaces and other characters in the category names.
